Besides exploring Air Itam Market, the main reason for coming here was to check out the legendary Sister Curry Mee. Had some difficulty locating it initially as the stall was off the main road (Jalan Paya Terubong).

5 star is to pay tribute to the founder of this stall. Now the food only worth 3.5 star. Had been eating this curry mee since 45 years ago, back that time their curry mee taste so excellent and not many Penang people know abt them.

Service: Total scam. The lady asked us to sit at the area opposite their shop (it was a drink store). After ordering the curry mee, the drink store aunty told us we must order drinks from her becos we sitting at her area.

Goodbye, the gentle taste of Siamese curry noodles 🕊️ The flavor of Ayer Hitam, Penang, has lost a guardian spirit today. Ms. Lim Gui Lai, one of the nationally renowned Siamese curry noodle sisters, passed away peacefully.

Located beside the main air itam market street. Came here for breakfast. Didn’t see the both sister here, but only a young lady preparing the curry mee. The curry mee more towards sweet side. Cost rm8 per bowl.

Bold flavors from basic roadside stall. The curry mee noodles have a bouncy bite. The spicy and creamy soup is a great balance of flavors.
